I guess it must be my eyes playing tricks, it's just very difficult to tell from the angle. My apologies.

Renerabbit, can you accomplish that while keeping the 12" eave overhang at the intersecting roof plane?
-
I don't think you can get what you want with auto-build turned on because Chief's logic can't resolve the intersection with the garage eave.
-
Then select the wall that you want to reduce the overhang, and: Wall Specification>Roof>Overhang>Length
-
Default Settings>Roof>Roof Overhang>Gable Set the value to what you need, taking into account the thickness of the exterior wall finish.

That warning doesn't help you find the specific Layout Box that contains the missing detail that is throwing the error. Remember to turn "on" the Layout Box Borders layer, then page through the Layout to find any "empty" layout boxes.

Wall Type Layers Manipulation - Creating Custom Foundation Types
rlackore replied to ABG_Car's topic in General Q & A
You can accomplish this with pony walls. Define two wall types: 1) the lower wall type will include the framed knee wall; be sure you set the knee wall layer to framing and set up the particulars in the dbx 2) the upper wall type is just your basic concrete wall, no knee wall framing Next, select your foundation walls and turn them into pony walls; set the Elevation of Lower Wall Top to the thickness of your floor framing (I-joist + subfloor), this will build the lower wall type with the knee wall to just beneath the floor framing: Build Framing and cut a section to see the result. Of course you have to set up your stem wall height, define the foundation walls so the floor hangs off the inside with a ledger, etc.: This gets you most of the way there. Auto-detailing isn't 100%, it details the knee wall as concrete, but you can easily fix that manually. -

I need to create a monolithic slab w/ no stem wall

Call the JHA or local law enforcement and ask if discharging a firearm within the jurisdiction's limits is permitted; this is always my first step. Second step is to talk cost, ventilation, and lead abatement, as @GeneDavis has pointed out. Third is to ask if they have children living in the house, and inform them of the lead dust residue that will exit the range, clinging to their clothes and shoes.

Is there a way to layer fill options in plan view?
rlackore replied to annalisax's topic in General Q & A
Two suggestions: 1) investigate using a fill pattern (room specification dbx) if the demo area is the entire room 2) if not the entire room, maybe use a material region -
One possibility is to check the Dimension Defaults for the Default Set you are using: Another possible solution is to select the Extension - not the horizontal dimension line - and adjust it's length by moving the highlighted grip handle:
-
1. Shoot a Cross-Section view and place an insulation CAD Box: 2. Create a CAD Detail from View. This turns the insulation line into a polyline comprised of arcs and such: 3. This polyline can be easily shaped to fit roof slopes by dragging the center points of the arcs:

Editing Materials on Sketchup Model in Chief?
rlackore replied to sea_lyons's topic in General Q & A
Here's a library with two versions: full polys (53,987) and reduced polys (21,140). I don't have the hardware to test the light settings, so you'll have to tweak those no doubt. Embra.calibz
